Over the weekend, television personality Coco Austin, 46, shared a series of images via her Instagram account in which she appeared wearing a revealing red and blue micro bikini adorned with white stars.
Ms. Austin, who is married to actor and musician Ice-T, posed for three photographs that prominently displayed her physical form.
The mother of one—who shares a nine-year-old daughter, Chanel, with her spouse—was seen modeling the swimwear in a manner that accentuated her chest, toned abdomen, and curvaceous hips.
Coco Austin, whose legal name is Nicole Natalie Austin, engaged her Instagram audience of approximately three million followers by posting a caption stating, ‘By popular requests, my traditional 4th of July bikini pics.’ She further indicated that additional images would be available shortly on her subscription-based Fan page.
In the photographs, Ms. Austin styled her platinum blonde hair in a bun secured with a red scrunchie. She accessorized the look with oversized red sunglasses, large hoop earrings, and red mule heels, which added height to her petite frame, as she posed in a poolside setting.
Ms. Austin also maintains a presence on the content subscription platform OnlyFans, where followers may access exclusive material for a monthly fee of $19.99. Her profile on the platform describes her as ‘the one and only Coco, the one who paved the way for curvy models,’ noting a 25-year modeling career that has expanded into work as an actress, television personality, author, entrepreneur, clothing designer, and self-described ‘Boss Babe.’
Her biography additionally includes personal interests such as an ‘obsession for heels’ and a fondness for cleaning. She characterizes herself as ‘Good things come in small packages,’ listing her physical measurements as 39DDD, 26, 43 and stating that she is ‘barely 5’2″.’
The page also contains a disclaimer clarifying the nature of its content: ‘This IS NOT a porn page… Pictures and videos on this page are Playboy style and is all hot content that I can’t post anywhere else. But to get more of me you have to subscribe.’
Ice-T and his wife, Coco Austin, have frequently faced public criticism regarding certain aspects of their parenting practices. These have reportedly included breastfeeding their daughter, Chanel, until the age of five; bathing her in a kitchen sink; and allowing her to dance suggestively in home videos posted online.
Despite the scrutiny, Ice-T has consistently defended their parenting choices, attributing them to the unconventional nature of their lifestyle. In a 2023 interview with People magazine, he stated: ‘I think the thing of it is, it’s Ice-T and Coco. Our parenting is a lot different than the normal, square couple from Oklahoma. I’m a f*ing rock star — it’s different.’**
He also addressed the frequent appearance of their daughter in content shared on their social media platforms, explaining that Chanel participates voluntarily and enjoys doing so. ‘It’s fun and [Chanel] likes doing it. If she didn’t, we definitely wouldn’t do it,’ he said.
Providing further context, Ice-T noted that he and Coco created social media accounts for Chanel shortly after her birth, anticipating that they would be enthusiastic about documenting her life online. ‘When Chanel was born, we got her social media because we knew that we were gonna be the parents that were gonna show a hundred pictures of their kid because we were proud,’ he stated.#newsafro_
